i am okay now with seeing no purpose in life, yet appreciating people anyway. the key came from dawkin's book: although i see no grand purpose or meaning to life, i do expect to "have a good lunch". and in general, i do. and also therefore care about people, which i do.

wash your eyes out with soap. math of soda can balancing? ball-gag barbie? gormet buffett. risk and reward will always have the same relationship. all bubbles burst. peaches and cream¿ stackability? all directions turn red. my eyes cant tell. language is STUPID.

why is it that human problems appear intractable? it seems they should require considerably fewer steps to solve than the typical real world math problem. the only reason i can see immediateily is that people dont want their problems solved, but that seems odd... it seems a problem should be something someone wants solved. although the automated proof checking comes to mind, and it seemed to illustrate that WAY more information is contained in even the simplest mathematical proofs than i would have expected. which implies that perhaps human problems are far more complex than i would initially suspect.

its probably more afraid of you than you are of it.

today at work my head briefly felt like a radio when you are switching stations... as if i just heard bits and fragments of songs, people, movies, phrases, ideas, or whatever else... it had pictures too, but that wasnt as distracting.

About Me

I enjoy untying knots. I have a deep and unfounded appreciation for all humankind.
What you see is what you get. Except for politicians. And relationships. And book covers. And land mines. And plot twists. And sink holes. And the media. And fashion. And of course ice bergs too.
I find more things than I should profound. I fall in love with every noun, but it is okay because it is not contagious. I am both deeply superficial and superficially deep.
